This election will determine control of Congress. Rep. Pete Aguilar, who represents California's 33rd Congressional District, shares how Democratic Party leaders are feeling as results come in.
...
CHANG: Well, let me just ask you, Congressman Aguilar, are there serious plans if you retake the House as Democrats to try to impeach President Trump again?
AGUILAR: No. We are focused on delivering on the affordability agenda. Now, that doesn't mean that we are opposed to accountability and oversight. This administration needs that clearly. They are reckless and irresponsible at just about every level, including the most, you know, corrupt and inept Cabinet ever assembled. But I think we can start there. Keep in mind, it was a Republican who filed articles of impeachment on Pete Hegseth, and Speaker Johnson, who you just talked...
CHANG: Right.
AGUILAR: ...Who you just played there, actually sent us home, sent us back to our districts in September to avoid that vote because it was going to be bipartisan.
CHANG: Well, when it comes to...
AGUILAR: We believe (ph) strongly in accountability, and that's what we plan to do.
CHANG: In the last minute and a half we have left - when it comes to oversight and accountability, if Democrats were in charge of the House, do you expect to be investigating the Trump administration, and if so, what will you be looking into first?
AGUILAR: There will be a host of investigations, and Jamie Raskin with the Judiciary Committee and Robert Garcia with House Oversight will take leadership roles on those issues. And there is plenty to investigate, but I'll tell you what the American public wants us to investigate are the grift and the corruption, the self-dealing, the no-bid contracts, all of those things that are stealing taxpayers' money that otherwise could be going to deliver on the priorities that they care about, you know, delivering on healthcare.
My wife and I are the millionaires next door, who live so far below our means that nobody knows. Even then, we're not the very rich. The billionaires pop a collective boner at the thought of draining people like us.
